I've heard op eds and letters to the editor in local papes are effective at sending messages to elected officials, but I've never tried so idk. You also need the paper to actually publish it.
I can't prove it but my past apartment managers started trying to do a lot more nice community things like bringing donuts to the community room after I wrote a letter to the editor about threatening them with rent strikes. Not them specifically, but in response to a peak COVID article from a landlord saying "we're struggling people who need to pay our mortgage too". Maybe it works on politicians too.
